Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, is deter
mined to commit suicide. All the
persuasive power Of all his friends
will not, perhaps, be sufficient to pre-
vent the carrying out Of his strange
schemes. At least we prefer to call
it suicide. He wants the Mexican
Mission, and the Mexican whisky has
killed off about every American states
man who has been sent over there
during Cleveland's term as President.
Gen. Bragg's friends should, in case
he should be so unfortunate as to get
the appointment, bid him an afec-
tionate farewell.
